■ YOUTH SNACK SUPPER On Sunday nights our youth have "Snack Supper,” a light meal they eat to-gether to help build relationships and community. Contact Amanda Caulder if you can help provide food for Snack Supper this semester.

■ WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP SUPPER This year fellowship suppers will be held once a month during the prayer meet-ing hour. The next supper is set for Wednesday, January 30. Join us at 6:30pm in the Family Life Center’s multipurpose room. Sign up on Sunday!

■ NEW WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY The Monday night women’s Bible study will return on January 28 from 6pm to 7pm in the FLC with Jennie Allen’s new 8-week study Proven. Many of us walk through life feeling like we don’t measure up. But as Jennie points out, you don’t have to prove anything because Jesus has already proven everything! Contact group leader Donna Teal and let her know if you plan to participate. The cost of the Proven Bible study book is $12.99.
